QED

  (formal)

something that you say in order to emphasize that a fact proves what you have just said is true

Usage notes: QED is a short form of the latin phrase 'quod erat demonstrandum' which means 'which was to have been proven'.

People are getting taller all the time - apparently it's progress and has to do with quality of life (cavemen were short QED).
